    Gambling is destroying everything. Seriously.  I know for many it is fun but I have watched it over the last 6 months rip NC apart. It was made legal just after the suoer bowl and every ad now is for some sports site. Radio stations play sports book shows 24/7.  Most people at work bet. They'll bet $2 on an Australian middle achool tennis match, Saudi Arabian hockey tournament, Kenyan horse race.... Any damn thing.

     

    Their third screens now show live streams of these sports, too.

     

    I just cannot believe how it's going and NC is a fraction of the tax that other states are and what I tried to tell these folks are the taxed winnings they get are based off of winning every bet not just the final net total they're ahead. One guy has won over $2k but only netting about $350 income. He doesn't understand no matter how many times I tell him he is going to owe a lot more than he realizes. 

    I have a Fan Duel account and do bet up to 25$ on things and doing ok. So it would be hypocritical for me to condemn sports betting,  But I'm sick of odds running on the bottom of the screen in any of these sports, my feeling is leave that crap off we know where to find it

    The Bills and/or Erie Co share the blame in this. Why would you hire a company to install in-seat heating that has never done it before?

    I would guess the contractor or sub contractor did this.  I doubt very much the peeps at OBD are researching seat heaters

    The Toronto Raptors' Jontay Porter has been banned from the league after an investigation revealed he had disclosed confidential information to bettors, limited his participation in at least one game while he was with Raptors, and bet on NBA games while playing in the G League.

    The NBA said in a release announcing Porter's ban that its investigation remains open and that it is sharing information with federal authorities. ESPN reached out to the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI for comment.
